Even a screenshot like the ones we have now of Android apps would be cool (although they are just the launcher icons and a quote saying that they work, but still...).

If I buy Nexus 4 or something and can Install Sailfish on it I get better hardware for cheaper?

If only to show my respect to the fine people making this possible. And to give my support to a Finnish mobile device company.
And besides, it's fairly inexpensive so there's no real reason not to.

Any longer & what's likely to be mediocre specs will be more so by xmas/new_yr, + much of the buzz would've worn off.

About the Android hardware issue. See the critical comment from the Lima driver developer: http://libv.livejournal.com/25325.html
His points are valid, if libhybris is going to become a permanent thing, instead of a temporary crutch to gain foothold.
I don't think it's as dire as this dev thinks, it's still more of a +ve overall than a -ve, at least it's given small start-ups like Jolla a fighting stance.
I wish they'd publish such stuff in English in timely manner as well

This is a mobile phone device we are talking about... do you want it to last you 4 hours on battery or would you rather have it running for a couple of days at least? Jolla are designing their hw thinking about a smooth experience, as they mentioned time and time again. I am personally not planning to do video editing on my phone, but ymmv.

I'm very pleased that they can use standard Android Hardware. It makes it easier for them to have many hardware sources as well as makes it easier for other partners to try Sailfish. If they push Qt then developers can create Android and Sailfish (and BB OS10) and get native in each environment. Perhaps I am over simplifying it but Qt is trying to make different mobile OS targets with the same code that might be the end goal to get more native apps that way. They are running a business and they seem to have made sound business decisions even if some purists don't like their approach. I want to see a second Jolla device someday so their first device must be a success

Tuesday is without a doubt the best day to release the full spec.
